Brookwood Shop Spot

Welcome to the Brookwood Shop Spot!
This blog will share photos, stories and news about all of the wonderful work done by our adults with disabilities in the work program at Brookwood, in Brookshire, Texas. We currently have about 110 resident citizens and 90 day citizens here working in 8 different workshops or programs Monday through Friday, year 'round. The revenue generated by the products our citizens make and grow provides 40% of our annual operating budget!

This is from Belinda Jones & Sherry Kitchell, Brookwood Parents & Volunteers. They are asking for your help for a Staff Appreciation event on Friday, February 12th, from 1-3 pm, at Brookwood. Please let Sherry know if you can help bring goodies or help at the event.

Thanks to Milt Howard's family and business, for all they have done to support Brookwood!

Hi friends! It is nearly time for our annual Open House, where you can tour campus and say hello to our Citizens in their Studios, grab some lunch from the Buffet at the Cafe, shop 'til you drop and, of course, catch one of our four performances of our Citizens' play, "She Shall Be Praised." We know you won't want to miss this great warm-up to the Christmas Season.

Below are a few pictures from last night's Ladies' Night Out, to give you a little preview of our beautiful store at Brookwood! And remember to visit our other stores in Old Town Spring and at Grand Parkway inside Gallery Furniture at Richmond, near Katy.

If you haven't had a chance to stop by yet, our store is open Monday through Saturday from 10am-7 pm, and from 12-6 pm on Sunday. We are located inside the Gallery Furniture Store, right off of Grand Parkway, next to Santikos Palladium Theatre.

Some of you may have heard this before, but I haven’t. I just wanted to share it with you. During the interview of a potential new citizen and his family, Carol Whitmore discussed Brookwood’s Core Values with them as she does with all new potentials. Once she finished, the father shared his interpretation of the word GRACE. He said it is God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. How amazing and heartwarming? This touched me so deeply. We often forget the sacrifices the Lord has made to provide us with such riches in our life on a daily basis. In light of this, now I have another way of understanding the true meaning of GRACE in addition to Brookwood’s definition of it.
